We can't really answer your question without knowing what your goals are, what your diet is like, or whether you're a male or female. Fill out your profile and that would help out a lot.

Twinlab products come to mind as the king of bad tasting protein drinks. I like Nitro-Tech (with 20g per serving) and Designer Whey (with 17.5 g per serving). Both taste great when mixed with skim milk -- which adds even more protein. Met-Rx products are also good, but a little expensive. I've tried the mega protein shakes, and I truthfully don't see the need. They're usually more expensive per serving, and if you figure that most lifters need somewhere around a gram to a gram and a half of protein per pound of body weight per day, you can get that pretty quick with a balanced diet and a couple of shakes with a reasonable amount of protein. -------------- Rick
